Early in Jennings' career with the Giants, I went to the Jets-Giants game at the Yale Bowl and got there early.

It was almost like the football equivalent of watching BP.

Jennings was warming up by punting the ball to a guy about 50 yards away. The amazing thing was the guy catching the punts never had to move, not even a step. It was like playing catch at short distance in the back yard. Except the guy was at least 50 yards away and Jennings was kicking game-height punts.

Maybe other NFL punters can do the same thing, but I've never seen it before or since and the memory has stuck with me all these years.

I also remember him as an ex-player who would speak honestly on the radio.

RIP
